Sabula Racket.
OLD MAID.

And it came to pass that in a certain year
there was a dearth of provender in the land
of Canaan, and there was not sustenance in
the land; and James, surnamed Buford,
hearing that there was corn in Egypt, hieth
hither and buyeth so much as filled chariot,
and it was transported to one Subula, which
lieth over against Big Creek. And being sore
pressed for corn, James, surnamed Buford,
ordered certain ones to saddle their beasts
of burden, and bring the corn over the way,
lest preadventure we perish; and the same
was done, and it was the Sabbath day. And
certain ones who were pious said, Because
he, James, surnamed Buford, has done this
wicked thing, it being the Sabbath day, we
will report him to the twelve who sitteth in
judgment at the Temple of Justice in the
City of Ironton, which is over against Area
dia. And the twelve found bills OF indict-
ment against James, surnaned Buford, and
it came to pass that when James heard what
was done, he was wroth, and calleth together
his attorneys and he prepareth for battle.
And it came to pass that there was certain
rich man, and he came from the east. and
his raiment was purple and fine linen, and
he Jared sumptonsly every day; and he had
many mighty engines and roads of steel, and
many chariots. And on certain Sabbath days
he commandeth his grand vizier to gather to-
gether his men and take his engines and his
chariors and HE to certain places aud to load
upon bis chariots certain cross-ties, and
transport them hither. And If any one re-
fuse to do this thing because it is the Sabbath
day, cut off his head and Danish him forever.
And certain ones sayeth, why not report this
thing to the twelve who sitteth in judment
at the City of Ironton, which Is over against
Arcadia? Has Israel become SO corrupt
that We lay judgment upon the good Samari-
tan and let the rich man pass by? Surely
this thing ought not to be done in Israel.

a WATcHMAKER.s FAME.

T. s. Bartlett was one of the origi-
nal foremen in the pioneer Waltham
factory, and his name was adopted as
trademark and has been running as
such very nearly thirty years. At the
lowest calculation 100000 Bartlett
watches have seen made and sold.
The exact figures are not at hand, but
this is about as near as can be esti-
mated. The Bartlett watch is unaues-
tionably one of the most popular
watches ever made. It ranks almost
as high as the adjusted Appleton,
Tracy q Co.," and is, in fact. con-
structed on the same model The pat
ent regulator Bartlett is full jeweled,
has compensating balance fitted with
the Waltham patent Breguet hair
spring, which is hardened and tenn
pered in form so as never to change its
curve, and is very closely regulated. It
is made for any kind of silver or gold
cases. The latest improvement in the
Bartlett watch is in the open-face style
to wind and set without ever openin o
the ease, the winding as well as the
hand-setting being done by the crown
only. Unlike the arrangements in 9TH
er watches this Bartlett hand-set is in
the neck of the case, so that it does not
at all complicate the movement. Up
ward of 1000 of them have been pur-
chased by the British Government DUR
ing the past ten years and are used on
the state railways in India. For the
same purpose the colonial authorities
of New South Wales, Victoria and
South Australia have large orders in
hand. Through these excellent time
keepers P. S. Bartlett's name is known
in all civilized countries. ~ Y. Jewel-

INDIAN WARFARE.
A Veterans "reminiscences of the Terrible
War of 1862.

War of 1867.
"Did l ever tell you of little Incl
dent that happened during the Indian
war of 1892" said Lieutenant Nor
gan, of the police force, recently.
s.Well, was a member of Company
A, 9th Minnesota volunteers. When
we were up in county which had
been devastated by the Sioux there was
detail from our company sent out un-
der the command of Captain Grant, OF
my company, to bury the dead. Above
Birch coulee we found man who told
us that he, with his wife, two daugh-
ters and a little son, were in the garden
when he heard the crack of guns. His
wife and daughters dropped dead. He
grabbed the boy and started to run
down the road He was followed by
the Indians, yelling savagely and firing
rapidly. He could not carry the boy
and get away, so he dropped him and
ran on. The little fellow followed him,
shouting, Papa, papan but was soon
orertaken by the Indians, and he heard
Tim shrek and knew that he had been
killed. After burying the dead around
Redwood we came back by the way OF
where the man lived and found the
bodies of his wife and daughters as be
had said. Down the foad we found ihe
body of the little boy thrown into the
hazel brush The bodies were all mutt
lated in a horrible manner. At the
fight at Birch coulee the man was
killed. If he told his name / can not
now remember. That was one family
entirely wiped out. In all the reports
of those dark days this circumstance
has never been published. st. Fapl

TIE BLANKET FISH.
A Story Showing How 1t Overpowers and
Kills It's Victims.

Kills Its Victims.
1.-THE first time I struck the bottom /
:ouldn't believe / was there" said a pearl
diver in a recent interview. "It was as
clear as air, and the fishes swimmin g
around might have been taken for birds.
I landed on kind of sand hill
when they lowered me, and had to walk
about fifty feet down into valley like
before l struck the shells. They were
all in bunch, stretched along in a rid ge,
looking like black mark against the
white bottom. I was dragging the ham,
per, and when got alongside l began to
toss them in. reckon l had filed half a
dozen or so, when all at once / saw kind
of shadow moving over all. At first I
thought it was the schooner, and then,
perhaps, some of the other divers coming g
down, and then it left; but all at once it
came again and grew so dark in a second
that turned quick and looked up, and, il
my hair hadn't been held down by a cop
per cap 1t would have riz right on end.
There, a-movin' over me, was what
took to be a bird about thirty feet across
1t was wheeling round and, Tapping its
big wings, just as you've seen buzzards
or eagles do, overhead. Down it came,
lower and lower, and a-cpouching as f at
as could get The nearer it got the big
ger it looked, and as l see it was a-setting
on me took the pike l always carried,
and as it wheeled around over me l let
drive. Hit ita Well. l reckon did. The
next thingI knew was standing on my
head, rolling over and over, then yanked
sideways, half drowned, and then l reck-
on lost my senses, and when I came to !
was lynn on deck and all hands looking
at me- You see the critter had given the
water such swirl that 1 was knocked
end for end, and my pipe and line twist
ed around and around so that / couldn't
breathe and, of course, that pulled the
line, and the men thought had jerked it
to come up, so they hauled away for all
they were worth, and that's what saved
my life. What was it? Why, nothin' but
one of those sea- a-bats-blanket-fsh the
other man called it-and they all said l
had a narrow run for it. That was the
way, accordin' to their say, that the fish
goes to work to get away with man.
They first settle down on you like a
blanket, and there you are"

She Made Him Feel Small.

Mr.. Everett was riding on the Eastern
road. At Lynn a bright and pretty gir
got into the cars, and took the vacant sea-
by his side. He entered into conversation
with her, and was much entertained BY
her fresh and vivacious comments. WheI
the train was entering Boston he deter
mined to give her pleasant surprise, ant
so said, blandly: 'Now would you like t.
know who it Is with whom you have beer
talkings" "Oh, yes" answered the girl
up-turning her beaming face. The states
man smiled benignly. II am Mr.. Everett
Mr.. Edward Everett The girl stared
at him vacantly. He smiled again, for the
mortifying thought that his name couli
be unknown to her had not yet taken form
in his serene mind. The pause became op
pressive. Finally, the girl bethought her
self "Do you," she said, desperately
stdo you live in Lynn?'

Bishop Alexander w. Wayman, the

pie of the South increased so much more
rapidly than the white, answered: 'We

people only draw from one-every colored
woman whose husband is white, the chill
dren are set down on our side; every
white woman whose husband is colored,
